Weltempfaenger

Style:
Cafe-Restaurant-Bar, European eclectic with a German accent

More:

Reviews:
Ganda writes on "EatDrinkOneWoman": "The schnitzel (which I think was pounded veal) came with an oniony, warm potato goop and some kind of berry jam (gooseberry?). No vegs, totally awesome.

Francis, the vegetarian, didn't fare so well with his non-meat option, which turned out to be a cold baked potato with runny quark cheese, served with a sweet-dressed salad. A cold baked potato does not a dinner make, so we supplemented with another entree of kasespaetzle, German pan-fried squiggly pasta with melted Berg cheese and fried onions -- much tastier and more satisfying option."

Brachvogel

Style:
Beer Garden (Biergarten) with some German food and service

More:


Reviews:
Qype user "Kreuzberger" is disappointed of Brachvogel (in German). The service is quick; but the menu neglected to mention that there is ham in the avocado salad (to that vegetarian's dismay); the dishes were rather small for the pricing; and the audience was not "young" enough: mostly young parents or young people with their older parents. Kreuzberger summarises by writing that going there for a beer-garden experience or because it is kids-friendly and has a mini-golf course is one thing, but don't go there for the food.

Clärchens Ballhaus Mitte

Style:
Happy, 1920s style ballroom with live-music and German-Italian simple food

More:

Reviews:
On Been There, Emi writes: "Berlin in a nutshell. [....] Good food and delicious home-made cakes. Music changes depending on the day (cha cha, swing, waltz and tango). In the summer, the garden is an additional attraction."

A review on the New York Times focuses mostly on the fun ballroom and not on the food, but also mentions some celebrity factor ("Willem Defoe, Bjork, the artist Matthew Barney, Charlotte Rampling and other names Mr. Schulz is too tired to tick off, have come to Clärchen’s").

Cafe am Neuen See

Lichtensteinallee 2, 10787 Berlin (in the Middle of the Tiergarten park, close to the Zoologischer Garten station)

Fairly. They have a playground outside when its fair, and in general, you can also see ducks, birds, fish and trees, which is all very child-friendly. No play-corner inside, though.

Style:
Biergarten (beer garden) with Pizzas, German beer-garten food, etc.

Related Tours/Sites:
Very close to the Zoologischer Garten (the Zoo in West Berlin)

Could be integrated with the Weimar Berlin, Third Reich Berlin Tour, Jewish Tour in West Berlin or with customised Berlin tours

In our opinion, one of the best and friendliest beer gardens in Berlin; they have a self-service restaurant with grilled sausages and other types of German food; pretty good (and large) pizzas; and a serviced cafe/restaurant, which is pretty good. And it is on a lake side, in a middle of a huge park, which is a green lung in the middle of the city.

Reviews:
On Moscow News, Phoebe Taplin writes: "[...] a great restaurant "Am Neuen See," with a self-service section at weekends which does huge pizzas and even bigger beers at wooden trestle tables by the water."
